Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Secretly Rich Man: Kabanata 2161 - Kabanata 2170

Just thinking about the hundreds of poisonous snakes in his family’s infamous pit sent shivers down his spine… Shaking his head, Amare knew that he had to stay focused. Tonight was his best shot at killing Gerald. If he failed, there was a high chance that he wasn’t going to be able to hunt Gerald down in time tomorrow. What more, even if he did miraculously find Gerald again then, he wouldn’t be able to do anything in broad daylight unless he wanted to attract unnecessary attention to himself. Whatever the case was, after silently touching down on the ground—after leaping from the sixth floor—a cold smile formed on Amare’s face as he growled, “To think that you’d actually release your essential qi… Don’t you know you’re being hunted down?” With that said, Amare began bolting toward the direction where he had sensed the essential qi. With how fast he was, he was barely even visible, and anyone he passed would’ve only been able to sense a cold breeze passing by… Gerald himself w

A split second later, a muffled gunshot could be heard, followed by the sound of something whizzing across the air at lightspeed…! Barely a second later, a bullet flew past the spot Gerald had initially been standing, hitting a rock and causing it to explode into a million pieces…! Had Gerald not reacted in time earlier, the bullet would’ve surely pierced through his heart! Even if he had his essential qi to protect him, Gerald knew that in the end, the essential qi would only leak out uncontrollably, causing his body to break down which would disallow him to recover…! Wiping the blood off his chin—with his sleeve—, Amare couldn’t help but sneer, “Seems that you’ve offended quite a lot of people!” With the unknown assailant’s help, Amare now knew that he would definitely be able to kill Gerald…! “Mind your own business,” replied Gerald as he took a deep breath… before releasing an immensely murderous aura. Gerald, for one, knew that if this unknown sniper and the Crawford cul

“I have nothing to say! I admit defeat! You’re stronger than me, what else do you want?!” growled Amare, knowing that his life was now in Gerald’s hands. “How dauntless,” retorted Gerald with a laugh before activating the power of his Herculean Primordial Spirit and poking a few spots on Amare’s body… Gerald was now temporarily paralyzing Amare, and once he was done, he tossed the defeated man onto the ground… Though Amare immediately attempted to get to his feet, he quickly realized that he couldn’t move an inch…! Understanding that he wasn’t going anywhere anytime soon, Amare could only watch as Gerald walked toward Vulture… After lighting a cigarette, Gerald squatted in front of the injured man, shaking his box of cigarettes while asking, “Want one?” Glaring at Gerald, Vulture—who was still clutching onto his chest—growled, “What do you want?” Honestly, in his body’s current state, even saying that one sentence caused him enough pain for any regular person to pass out… “

“J-just ask me anything you wish to know! I’ll share anything that I can answer…!” said Amare as he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gerald’s hand retracting. Sitting right in front of him, Gerald simply replied in a hushed tone, “First off, was it Will who told you to assassinate me?” “I-it was… You see, the patriarch sent me off to do some errands for him, but just before I left, Will called me over to his room to give me the assassination order… Since he’s the patriarch’s successor, I couldn’t just refuse…” Smiling subtly in response, Gerald then said, “I see. Come to think of it, aren’t you worried that Daryl will find out about this?” Gerald, for one, had figured that only Will wanted him dead. As far as he knew, Daryl was only interested in testing his abilities. “W-well… as long as I return in time, the patriarch shouldn’t find out… I was already planning to leave this afternoon, you know? But then you suddenly showed up…! What more, just as I was wondering how t

“No, actually… While it’s true that Will is the patriarch’s adopted child—and that he has a high status within the family—, the patriarch has honestly always been on guard around him… In fact, the patriarch has made sure to disallow Will from entering several important places on the island, including the backyard where the patriarch lives. I, for one, have never seen Will enter that place…” muttered Amare with a slight frown. “…I see. Well, what matters is that they’re still safe… I’m at least relieved to hear that…” said Gerald as he let out a sigh, the weight of his immense worry finally lifted. A brief moment later, Gerald turned to look at Amare before saying, “…Either way, you can leave now. Also, if you wish to remain alive, remember not to say a thing about what happened here tonight. Understand?” “Got it. If Will asks me about this, I’ll just tell him that I failed to locate you in Japan,” replied Amare with a nod. “I trust you, now leave,” said Gerald as he gestured fo
